Filed clerk order (Deputy Clerk:BJB): The court invites the views of the United States on the following question: Whether the term "illegal use of drugs," as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 12210(d), includes use of marijuana taken under doctor supervision. The plaintiffs, who brought this action under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), argue that their use of marijuana for medical purposes is excluded from the ADA's definition of "illegal use of drugs" because they take marijuana "under supervision by a licensed health care professional." 42 U.S.C. § 12210(d)(1). The defendants argue that medical marijuana use falls within the definition of "illegal use of drugs" because it is not "authorized by the Controlled Substances Act" (CSA). 42 U.S.C. § 12210(d)(1). They also point out that, as a Schedule I substance, marijuana has "no currently accepted medical use in treatment" under the CSA, 21 U.S.C. § 812(b)(1)(B), and that the CSA does not expressly authorize dispensation of Schedule I substances by prescription, see 21 U.S.C. § 829. The court invites the views of the United States because its interests in enforcing both Title II of the ADA and the CSA are implicated by the legal issue presented in this appeal. See 42 U.S.C. § 12134; 28 C.F.R. § 35.190; Memorandum from Deputy Att'y Gen. David W. Ogden to Selected United States Attorneys (Oct. 19, 2009). Our phrasing of the question presented does not prevent the United States from reformulating the question, or from considering any other issues presented in the parties' briefs. If the United States wishes to file a brief as amicus curiae responding to this order, it is granted leave to do so pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 29(a). The brief should be filed within 45 days from the filed date of this order and comply with the page or type-volume limitations set forth in Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 29(d) and 32(a)(7). Parties who are registered for ECF must file the amicus brief electronically without submission of paper copies. Parties who are not registered ECF filers must file the original amicus brief plus four paper copies. The parties' briefs are available to the United States in electronic form on the court's ECF system. [7723902] (BJB)

Filed order (HARRY PREGERSON, RAYMOND C. FISHER and MARSHA S. BERZON) Appellants' January 31, 2012 emergency motion to enjoin closure actions is denied, without prejudice to their filing a new action in the district court. Appellants request this court to enjoin the United States of America from taking action against patient collectives in the City of Costa Mesa. The United States is not a party to this action. See Bayshore Ford Trucks Sales, Inc., 471 F.3d 1233, 1249 n.34 (11th Cir. 2006) ("An amicus curiae does not become a party to the case, and thus is not subject to the in personam jurisdiction of the court."). Accordingly, we may not issue an injunction binding the United States. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2)(A)-(C); see also Zepeda v. U.S. I.N.S., 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th Cir. 1985) ("A federal court may issue an injunction if it has personal jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter jurisdiction over the claim; it may not attempt to determine the rights of persons not before the court."). Appellants also request this court to enjoin the City of Costa Mesa from taking action against patient collectives located therein. Appellants have not presented evidence that the City of Costa Mesa is acting in concert with the federal government. See Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). DENIED. [8055607] (SM)
